Back during the infancy of this software, most people would use it for just two reasons to store data (especially customer database) and as a glorified calculator. Perhaps because those are a spreadsheets intended or more practical uses or that people are not really that trained to use its features to the fullest. You would even be surprised that up to now there are office employees who, when they are prompted to make some calculations, they would open their spreadsheet software and do the calculations there.

Include Groceries on Your Monthly Budget Spreadsheet
Groceries should also be included on the monthly budget spreadsheet. Depending on where you live and how well you shop-using coupons and buying larger packages of paper products and non-perishables-you could easily spend $80 a week in groceries just for one person (and thats not eating steak every night or eating out). By the way, avoid eating out, if at all possible, and settle for a hearty meal at home.

Its really important to consider the formatting of your spreadsheet. It may seem trivial to even spend time on thinking about your formatting, but if you follow a few simple rules your brilliant spreadsheet will not only look good but do your calculations speedy and efficiently.
